    Last call for the BNSF Glorieta & NMRX Semaphores

    BNSF Geo Train following Amtrak 4 12/1/21

    Amtrak 4 departed Albuquerque a bit tardy with a PV on the rear. She is being followed by 2 BNSF GEVOs that are pulling GEO Cars. Passed Bernalillo, NM at 115pm MST, Amtrak 4 should be arriving into Lamy about this time.
